eruthros: TRUEeruthros: This is an amazing list. It really indicates why they're having ratings issues.eruthros: S.S. Doomtrooper! ("a 2006 made-for-TV science fiction movie starring Corin Nemec, in which a mutated Nazi supersoldier (which is blue, has glowing veins, can generate electrical radiation as a weapon, has greatly enhanced strength and size, and is a mindless monster) fights against Allied troops during World War II")eruthros: Locusts: The 8th Plague.eruthros: FRANKENFISH.

thingswithwings: like, it seems like it's just as well they're not calling themselves scifi anymorethingswithwings: because they have a very different idea of what that means than I do

eruthros: I can't believe that the scifi channel got TWO original films out of the invasive snakehead fish incident in ... whenever, 2003 or so.

thingswithwings: also, are all SG-franchise actors contractually obligated to do a bad scifi original monster flick?

eruthros: And everyone on the Atlantis set is all "what's up with that Hewlett guy? doesn't he seem kinda weird to you?"eruthros: but they didn't know him BEFOREeruthros: so they don't know how he's been CHANGED by it

eruthros: and, yeah, big burly guys with taserseruthros: and there's screaming off in the distance, and everyone pretends not to hear, because they know: there's nothing you can doeruthros: Michael Shanks tried to get out any way he could!eruthros: He even QUIT THE SHOW!

eruthros: but then he was somehow brought back -- he doesn't know how, but one day, he suddenly becomes aware of the fact that he is sitting in his trailer, just like he'd never lefteruthros: and a DeLuise is knocking on the dooreruthros: "Michael? There's someone here from the network to see you."

I think it is. I think it is totally true! And that Joe Mallozzi hates JFlan because JFlan loudly refused to star in Anaconda: Fire Snake From Hell (aka "Anaconda V"), thus ruining the silent complicity that all the writers had been enjoying.

It was actually funny, for a few minutes.

I am now thinking that the real reason SGA was cancelled was because the entire cast banded together and refused to sacrifice one of their number to the horrors of Mansquito 3: Revenge of the Larvoids.

After all, they'd already given up David Hewlett and David Nykl before the show even started! A clear sign that the network was going to ask for too much, always too much and too soon -- and who would be next? Clearly they had to draw a line in the sand! :)

Probably not. Hewlett is in Bulgaria right now doing something for SyFy, and with a little IMDb detective work, lucitania suspects that he may be making Lake Placid 3: The Killer Crocodile Terror Continues Further. D:

A+++ would read this post again! I don't normally read RPF, but I would sell a kidney to read an epic fic of this.

Also, um, I had SS Doomstrooper on my DVR for an embarrassingly long time. I LOVE THESE MOVIES, OKAY? Oh my god, that one was hilarious. I also love the one that Nykl was in with the Pterodactyl. I think that one was my favorite before I even started watching SGA.

Also, I do not judge you! I love badfic and bad movies and bad tv too! I mostly don't care for the monster movies, but I have to say, Boa vs Python is AMAZING and really the culmination of the entire giant snake genre.

This explains everything and I need this thriller in my liiife! Slightly OT, but there was Cinematic Titanic playing while I was on vacation and I missed it! I think this calls for beer and Boa vs. Python (after I clean).
